About this document

Polytropic Process and Control Volume Analysis by Aldian Ghani Rahman is a document available to read on EtoBox.

A polytropic process is a quasiequilibrium process described by the equation pV^n = constant, where n can take on any value between -∞ and +∞ depending on the specific process. For an ideal gas, n = 1 describes a constant-temperature (isothermal) process, n = 0 describes a constant-pressure (isobaric) process, and n = ±∞ describes a constant-volume (isometric) process.
